The House That Remembers Me I went back to the house today It didn’t look at me But it knew The gate stuck where it always did

Green Eyes, a Jealous Heart. Green eyes, a jealous heart, your love a mock, You wrapped it in promises, but they never unlocked.

The Sky That Dropped Red Snow The sky that dropped red snow, Not soft like winter’s breath, But heavy, cold, and full of grief,
The Rain That Drowned the Sea The rain that drowned the sea fell hard, Not gentle, not healing, just endless and dark, It hammered the waves until they broke,
I'm bitter but better A no quitter Go getter Right down to the letter Go on, call my bluff I chitter On twitter A last minute
The rising moon rises in the sky... The waves of the blue sky The sound of the flute The fragrance of your hands... The taste will be said
